Entry #28 was posted on December 4, 2010.
Its description is "Searching for anything."
In total, this entry is 4:52 long.

Jay searches his hotel room for information. He discovers a bottle of pills and a key inside a bag. His room also contains a safe with a 4-digit code he cannot guess. He leaves his room and has a conversation with another person staying at the hotel named Jessica. Jessica says that she finds Jay's name familiar. Jay mentions that his camera has been picking up strange noises during the night.

I searched around the hotel room,
looking for anything to help me
remember how I got here.

[00:16] Cut to Jay in his room. It appears Jay is using the handheld camera.
[00:16-00:25] Jay searches through the drawers underneath the television. All 3 drawers are empty.
[00:28-00:30] Jay searches the black mini-fridge. It is empty. Jay is still wearing his red long-sleeved shirt.
[00:31-00:35] Jay grabs a blue bag and moves it onto the floor.
[00:36-00:40] Jay opens the main compartment of the bag.
[00:41] The inside of the bag can be seen. There are pocket pouches along one side. The a red shirt and pair of blue jeans can be seen. A black Maglight flashlight can be seen.
[00:42-00:43] Jay removes what looks like a red shirt and pair of blue jeans.
[00:44-00:49] Jay removes the maglight flashlight and places it on the bed.
[00:49-00:52] Jay searches around the bag and finds pills in one of the far pouches.
[00:52-01:00] Jay examines the pill bottle.
[01:01-01:09] Jay pops open the pill bottle and examines one of the pills. The pill is orange.
[01:10-01:14] Jay holds up the pill bottle to the camera.
[01:12-01:14] The pill bottle reads:
"NDC 11673-517-78
ibuprofen
tablets, 200 mg
pain reliever/
fever reducer (NSAID)
see new w"
Part of the label is obscured by Jay's thumb.
[01:15-01:20] Jay puts back on the lid to the pill bottle then sets it aside.
[01:21] The camera cuts to a different view of the bag.
[01:21-01:22] Jay opens one of the external pockets. It is empty.
[01:23-01:28] Jay checks the inside of the bag again. Jay opens a zipper pouch opposite of the pocket pouches.
[01:29-01:34] Jay pulls out a key.
[01:35-01:37] Jay shows the key to the camera. It is an unmarked. It is a standard lock key.
[01:38] Jay stands up.
[01:39-01:53] Cuts to black screen.
[01:41-01:46] White text on black screen:

Things in the bag:
Some clothes
Flashlight
Painkillers
KEY

[01:48-01:52]

Obviously, I'm keeping the key
on my keyring.

[01:54] Cuts to a safe. The safe is made by "SAFEMARK SYSTEMS"
[01:57-02:03]

There's also a safe under
the bedside table.

[01:59-2:05] Jay inputs 1234 into the safe. It returns "E-CODE". It failed.
[02:06-02:12]

It's locked, so it has to
be for a reason.

[02:06-02:11] Jay inputs 8416 into the safe. It returns "E-CODE". It failed.
[02:12-02:17] Jay inputs 1985 into the safe. It returns "E-CODE". It failed.
[02:16-02:22]

After four wrong tries, it locks out for
fifteen minutes. So it's very time
consuming to try and open.

[02:19-02:26] Jay inputs 4613 into the safe. It returns "E-CODE". It failed. It shows "HOLd15" meaning it is locked for 15 minutes.
[02:26-02:35] Cut to black screen.
[02:29-02:34]

Yesterday, I decided to leave my room
and look around the area more.

[02:36-02:41] Cut to chest camera. Jay is facing the mirror. A picture can be seen in the reflection. Jay is looking down on the chest camera. The red light of the camera can be seen blinking.
[02:39] Jay clears his throat while looking left.
[02:46] Jay takes something from the top of the shelf.
[02:47-02:55] Jay exits the room.
[02:56] Jessica (the girl from Entry 27), can be seen walking down the hall.
[02:58-03:51]
Jessica: "What's that?"
Jay: "What's what?"
Jessica: "What's that under your jacket?"
(Jessica points to the chest camera)
Jay: "Oh this is a, it's a camera."
(Jessica's jaw drops)
Jessica: "What's it for?"
Jay: "Uh, you know, making videos of things.
(Jessica looks slightly bemused)
Jay: "Uh, it's for a documentary i'm-i'm shooting a, shooting a documentary."
Jessica when Jay says "documentary" at 3:14 :
(Jessica has a look of "Oh that makes sense.")
Jessica: "Oh!"
Jessica: "What's it about?"
Jay: "Uh, hotels."
(Jessica looks to her left)
Jessica: *chuckles* "Makes sense."
Jay: "Yes, so, uh-"
Jessica: "Well, I'm Jessica, nice to meet you."
(Jessica extends her hand to shake Jay's)
Jay: "Jay, Jay uh Mc-"
(Jessica looks as if she trying to remember something)
Jessica: "Jay Mc-?"
Jay:"What?"
Jessica: "Just sounds familar, I don't know."
(Jessica shrugs her sholders)
Jay: "How so?"
Jessica: "Have you been in something I've seen?"
Jay: "Unless, you know, I've done something I don't know about. I guess, (Jessica laughs) I guess kind of a common name, but… um… but, yeah, I mean gotta-I gotta get going so it was, it was nice to meet you though."
Jessica when Jay says "get" at 3:48 :
Jessica: "Oh, yeah sure."
Jessica: "Oh, nice to meet you."
Jay: "Yeah."
[03:27-03:30] "(last name removed)" in text. Audio is removed at 3:27 and 3:29.
[03:51-03:54] Jay turns and moves towards the stairs.
[03:54-04:12] Cut to black screen.
[03:57-04:02] White text on black screen.

This wouldn't have been noteworthy
if Jessica hadn't said my name
sounded familiar.

[04:05-04:10]

She's also in the room next door
to me, but I haven't seen anyone
else in the hotel other than staff.

[04:12] Cut to handheld on tripod. Jay can be seen sleeping face down on the bed. He is using no covers. The reflection of the computer screen can be seen on the chair.
[04:15-04:19]

My night security camera has
also been capturing noises
that may be coming from
next door.

[04:17]
There is some kind of noise.
[04:21-04:40] Banging and scraping noises are heard. There are 10 in all.
[04:42-04:52] Cut to black screen.
[04:45-04:48] White text on black screen.

I'm going to stay here a while longer
and try to figure all this out.

Main Theories and Observations

Apparently, Jay had been having headaches. However he has not mentioned any as of Entry 27.

The key is a standard lock key. Not to be confused with a locker key, or car key.

Jay inputs 1234, 8416, 1985, and 4613 into the safe.

1985 is probably his birth year.

Jessica sure does smile a lot.

Jessica seems to think Jay is weird until he says he is shooting a documentary.

Jessica has the Deja Vu look at 3:28-3:30. You know, as if you met a person, but can't remember where.

The laptop is on when Jay is asleep. He probably leaves it on all the time. ~ Makde

Further Speculation

The thing he picks up at 2:46, it's square, or rectangular. I'm thinking a phone, iPod, possibly another camera. ~ Dr Leonard Mengele

In addition to the scrapping and banging sounds in the night scene, there are also clicking sounds.

It is quiet, but if you boost the volume to 3 times normal it can be heard.

It has the following pattern. 1= tap 0=pause

10010000011110000000 "This may be morse code"~black_hornet

The pattern plays 3 times in the 30 second scene.

It is probably nothing, but it seemed a bit unusual to me, thus I post it.

If the camera is using film, it may be the spinning tape creating a clicking sound. However, I did not hear this clicking sound in Entry 27. This may be due to their being more noise during those scenes though. ~ Makdee

While holding the pill bottle and the orange pill, Jay is shaking. It definitely seems like he is frightened about something. ~iWantToBelieve

Or possibly shakey due to withdrawel from his Ibuprofen. ~Moooo4me

That is probably not Ibuprofen. That brand should have the pill stamped. Not to mention its too orange a color for that brand. Unless the color on the camara was off. - LOK
